    Hi , can anyone out there help me in my shrimps tank ? As quite a number of my shrimps have die slowly one by one ... i suspect that its because the first one died and caused an increase of amonia , thats why slowly slowly one by one died off ... Please anyone can help me with this problem ?

    I heard that floating plants could help in decresing the amonia level , is that true ... if so can Water Lettuce help ?

    Do you have proper aeration/filtration for the shrimps?

    Floating plants would help soak up some ammonia. Fast growing plants like Hornwort work as well.

    Hi Koah fong, appreciate if you could elaborate what you mean by proper filtration, does the way you stack the filter media or the content of media matters.

    Uhmmm how about aeration, not air pump right for planted tank?

    Cheers

    Hey Louis,

    How old is your shrimp setup? Did you cycle the tank before introducing the shrimps?
